Goodstart Mentone - Childcare Centre

Hello, I’m Renee, I am the Centre Director of our wonderful learning community here at Goodstart Mentone. 

I am a play enthusiast and believe it provides us all, both big and little people a zest for life and connection.

I continue to love my journey through Early Childhood Education over the past 17 years, working with all age groups and whole-heartedly believing play is the joy, fun and sheer pleasure of childhood, driving learning and development, most importantly building trusting, supportive and loving relationships.

My Early Learning values:
I’m passionate about how children learn and how we can connect and inspire their thinking and innate curiosity through our environments, experiences, conversations, and unpacking as a team how we can best support our children’s needs, learning and development.
The journey of learning is a lifelong process, and the most wonderful attribute of our job is that not only are we teaching children, they are also teaching us!

What I love about our community:
The people! Our families, team and the wonderful children, It’s the people who build our community. 

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart Mentone):
To be welcomed to a warm, safe, intellectually stimulating and nurturing atmosphere, where they will be valued, empowered and connected.

Please reach out for a conversation, the team and I are here to support you throughout your child’s early learning journey.
